Yes, you must mean either this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/038548349X/ - Zen Buddhism - by Daisetz T. Suzuki Or this one: An Introduction to Zen Buddhism by Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802130550
You'll like this one: Zen in the Art of Archery by Eugen Herrigel - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0375705090
And of course any Alan Watts, like this one: The Book : On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0679723005/ What Is Zen? by Alan Watts - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1577311671/

Journey to Ixtlan The Four Agreements The Book of Five Rings Tao Te Ching Where the Wild Things Are
-------------------- "A warrior is a hunter. He calculates everything. That's control. Once his calculations are over, he acts. He lets go. That's abandon. A warrior is not a leaf at the mercy of the wind. No one can push him; no one can make him do things against himself or against his better judgment. A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Revelation! Have you read that book? It's been on my must-read list for a while! What can you tell us about it? I had visions of spirals and DNA strands on one of my trips, that's why I wanted to check it.

Well, I could write a book on what spirals mean to me, and the strange synchronicities I have experienced, but I won't.
To quote William Blake:
The nature of infinity is this: That everything has its Own vortex, and when once a traveller thro' Eternity Has pass'd that Vortex, he perceives it roll backward behind His path, into a globe itself unfolding like a sun. Thus is the heaven a vortex pass'd already, and the earth A vortex not yet pass'd by the traveller thro' Eternity.

I'll have to check that book. Understanding what DNA is surely is a mystery.
Blake, great. You just described a wormhole there:

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Chuang Tzu by Chuang Chou The Book of Tea by umm... my buddy's got it, I forget the author's name. A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews (or whatever her last name is) Revolution and Counter-Revolution by Karl Marx.
Books mentioned by other people that don't make my top 5 list but definately make the props list; Where the Wild Things Are, that Tom Robbins stuff, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, L'Etranger and Petit Prince (both better in the original french).

You may want to check Ken Keyes' last book before he died: Your Road Map to Lifelong Happiness: A Guide to the Life You Want http://insightandlove.com/sohwhatisandappreciate.htm
The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz in continuously being recommended.
Castaneda is always a good source. Good ones.

Will you build me a canoe? I was just online and saw one you can build that weighs 8 1/2 lbs and one that weighs in at under 20 lbs.
I would love a lightweight canoe that does not cost an arm and a leg.

Green Eggs and Ham
I'd skip the other four.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
